Now, let me ask you about the herbal therapy one. From what it said, I didn't think it sounded that extensive, sounded like it only included 25 herbs. Is it extensive and really something that might come in handy? The ones I am looking at buying are completely different from yours. I was going more for the anatomy type to see if I could find something that would give better pictures and illustrations of where everything is. I have one brain surgeon who gets really extensive and I always seem to get lost in there. Thought that would be a good one, along with the heart. So glad to have someone who can be a commercial right now. Margaret >> Margaret: I didn't order the illustrated type ones because I have that World's Best Anatomical Charts book. The herb one does indeed have 25 herbs on it, but I figure it's better than searching the web, which I haven't had much luck finding herbs quickly on the web, and I was hoping these charts would increase the speed of look up which so far they seem to do. The vitamin one is very comprehensive as it is 4 pages. All the charts have holes in so they can be put in a 3 ring binder, which I think is a nice feature. The quick look up thing is why I got the one on grammar and punctuation. I already have the Gregg manual, but it takes forever to find things in there. Anything else you want to know?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 I ordered a few and they are very handy, but use with caution, I found several typos. The only ones I can recall are " coraciod " and " intercondyler " on the chart called " Skeletal System. " On the same illustration, intercondylar is spelled correctly, on another spot. The charts are still handy for me to learn where each bone is (I'm assuming that part is correct!). -- Heidi Nick in New York Visit my quilts at http://www.geocities.com/mnick66/index.html JanTranscribes@... wrote: > > In a message dated 05-31-01 5:19:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > MGrant@... writes: > > << Jan, Which ones did you get and do you feel that they are really > comprehensive?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Thank you for sharing this with us. I planned to go to the local college since the web site said they were selling them. and Nobles does not carry them. I want the nursing one especially and the MT basics and body. Good idea on the WGTS and measures too. and Nobles called to say World greatest is in so I had hoped to pick that up tomorrow. I need to call the college to see when there hours are. What did the charts cost you, if I may ask? Can anyone suggest a good IM reference book? Have a good night all of you. I was on retreat today so Have not been able to retrieve these until now.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 I got my BarCharts from WMU. I have three but the only price I can find is the English Grammar one and that was only $3.95. The others had to be about the same price. Yes, the Nursing one is great! Deb Re: Bar charts > Thank you for sharing this with us.
